Thread 9. TTC#1 The thread where we unanimously delete Ovia.

[StarkyTheDirewolf]

Symptom spotters, tww - ers, slightly hysterical hormone laden ladies! Regs, lurkers, intermittent posters! Our raison d'etre is 'am I pregnant?' Depending on how much Ovia (Whybird/Ovibitch) has pissed us off/messed with our fw she is either the oracle or a sanctimonious charlatan.

Just a warning, we move FAST! Our threads last on average, about a week before they're full.

Thread 9 , Welcome one and all! Group of weirdos, wee hoarders, covert opk or okp, depending on what your autocorrect decides addicts with a side business in CM management!

We do not judge, we enjoy TMI, we i encourage waiting to poas nobody listens and all the grossness you can find from a group of intelligent, articulate ladies. Fart stories make us laugh, stories about cervical mucus, pooing, cysts and nausea equally welcome.

Post your stats and add your dates. We have a register thanks to kat, I have been dubbed the resident piss stick queen loaaaaaads of bfp'ers who keep us positive! We don't have rules, we love a good symptom spot, we try to stay grounded and not be hysterical sometimes we manage it aswell

We like acronyms, we make some up: PET = Proper expensive test. We love the d(h)...which can of course mean 'dearest' or 'dickhead' why, what were you thinking?

jem I've got a very obliging Dh but I've had to be quite cautious about him not feeling like a spunk machine. I've been making a solid effort to dtd on a regular basis outside of the fw!

So for example, usually between Thursday night to Sunday evening I barely see him (as he's at work/asleep) but I've been waking him up half an hour earlier than I usually would for a cuddle and a quickie. (If I can do it when I'm ovulating I can do it when I'm not).

Not that I don't want to dtd with him normally, but I'd usually leave him to get as much sleep as possible before a night shift so when I wake him there's only time to throw a coffee and some porridge down his neck, have a shower and go to work.

I have however GOT to stop ending dtd by saying "FINISH HIM!" In the style of mortal kombat.

Just quickly checking in and declaring thread bankruptcy - haven't fully caught up yet. Think depression is rearing its head as my mood has taken a rather sudden and sharp downturn for the last few days (I'm ok, I'm not at risk - just feeling consistently very crappy). Really don't want to up my meds though as I don't think that'll help with ttc. Hmph.

I'm sorry you're struggling cthulhoo depression is a foul beast that gets us when we're least expecting. Be kind to yourself and take care. I'm glad you've told us, have you verbalised to your oh that you're having a dip? What are your plans for this evening? much love, flowers, cwtches and thinking of you lovely girl

starky the sperm machine is a real risk. I will try and DTD outside fw too I think. He does seem to be getting more on board with the whole shebang though which is a relief.

cthulhoo are there other things you can do to try and lift your mood? Exercise is usually a big help for me.

I told OH a couple of days ago that I had had a dip but that my mood seemed to have lifted, but not yet that it had gone down again. I do wonder whether the EPO interacts with the antidepressants which would be annoying because then I brought it on myself.

Thank you, Starky. I've bought a new colouring book and some pens today, and I also treated myself to a new pair of boots. Will do some more work and then have a lazy evening.

SuchaJem, I go to the gym fairly regularly but I think I'll have to up the intensity a bit to get endorphins going.

stark i love the sound of your wedding, and I love that you found your dress! What have you done with it after? Mines just in a box. i kind of want to get it out and try it on but i dont think it does up, haha! We had a gorgeous wedding in a tiny chapel next to the sea in Greece, with a big party at a beach bar next door, it was so perfect. DH had to pretty much organise the whole entire thing (well, actually, he did organise the whole entire thing) i gave him some ideas about what i wanted the flowers and food and stuff like, but he was a star and pulled it all off superbly! i was a bit panicked beforehand as there was nothing i could do to help, but it was great. threatened to be rained off (it was completely outside) but the rain turned up at about 3am so it wasn't too bad!!

ct sorry you're feeling a bit rubbish :( life has ups and downs. i know it feels like the downs are worse and longer than the ups but we have to get through it. and everything somehow has an ability to work itself out somehow. i know thats not going to make you feel any better but i can't do very well at these things :-S p.s whats EPO and why are you taking it for TTC? the only EPO i know is what the tour de france cyclists were doing for blood doping?

re: the gym - i havent been for a week as my neck has been so bad. and ive eaten pizza two days in a row this week. UMMMMM next week the healthy plan will kick back in!! my necks feeling a bit better, thank goodness.

my AF still hasn't shown up... really annoying as i want it to hurry up come and go so I can get another FW in soon... it was due today (CD27)... since stopping the pill i had one 28 day cycle, then a 27, then three 26 day cycles (i think... a few days short anyway) so maybe they are just getting longer again. pfft. i didn't mind having shorter ones actually, so just waiting and wondering when its going to show up now!

kat dress is in my dps back be from, df keeps trying to get me to bring it home!

Link to new thread as I'm out for a couple of hours and don't want to miss anyone!

Crhulhoo it absolutely sucks. I also think that this winter is not helping at all. I can feel my depression creeping up on me. Hoping things get better for you and all of us struggling from time to time.

House move complete...3 days to catch up on! This will take a while! Any BFPs?
